Chapter 203: The Man in the Photo
Upon hearing Du Hanshuang's words, Su Chen really felt an impulse to bash his head against something.
This girl had only spoken two sentences, but those two sentences had completely sculpted Su Chen into the image of a lecher!
If it had been under normal circumstances, he might have let it go, but Lin Ruoxue was still watching from upstairs!
Su Chen decided he absolutely could not let this girl continue speaking, who knows what else might come out of her mouth.
Though she wasn't exactly lying, her words were just too easily misinterpreted, weren't they?
"Come with me!"
Su Chen, feeling exasperated, grabbed Du Hanshuang's slender arm and pulled her toward a secluded spot nearby.
Naturally, Du Hanshuang was not pleased with his roughness and instinctively tried to dodge his grip, but found that even after attempting to evade, her arm was still firmly caught by him.
That shocked Du Hanshuang quite a bit, considering she was a Qi Refinement First Layer expert with exceptional talent, especially noted for her agile movements!
If not for these abilities, she wouldn't have been recruited by the Special Security Bureau, a place that wasn't known for accommodating slackers.
But Du Hanshuang had never imagined that, with her impressive skills, she would be unable to avoid this man's casual grasp, which really surprised her!
As she was still stunned, Su Chen had already pulled her along and continued walking straight ahead…
The crowd watched this scene unfold with some confusion. What was Su Chen trying to do?
Was he, driven by anger and embarrassment, planning to threaten the young woman?
The others didn't go after them to see what was happening, not because they didn't want to, but because Lin Ruoxue had already come down.
"What are you all doing here? Don't any of you have work to do?"
Lin Ruoxue said coldly.
People looked at Lin Ruoxue's ice-cold face, one that seemed like it could freeze someone to death, and not daring even to breathe heavily, they quickly went inside and returned to their desks.
After everyone left, Lin Ruoxue looked at the two figures behind the small grove from a distance, her beautiful eyes shooting flames.
The flames seemed like they could incinerate the entire grove along with those two figures to ashes.
"Let go, you're hurting me!"
Du Hanshuang, clearly annoyed, pouted and said.
"Spit it out, what exactly are you here for today?"
Su Chen also released Du Hanshuang's arm, his face cloudy as he looked at her.
He didn't mind being misunderstood by others, but he didn't want to be misunderstood by Lin Ruoxue. Yesterday, he had only just barely placated her, only to have this girl stir up such a scene early this morning, making him sound lurid—like he had dirtied his trousers, guilty even if innocent.
"You're asking me what I'm here for? Were you doing it on purpose in the car yesterday?"
Du Hanshuang thought to herself, 'You're annoyed? I'm the one who's really annoyed, alright?'
"What do you mean 'on purpose'?"
"Did you already know I was tracking you, and did you deliberately walk into that adult shop that day? And what about those comments about condoms in the car yesterday—were you saying those on purpose too?"
Now that they were free from the gaze of onlookers, Du Hanshuang no longer held back and fired off the questions she'd been wanting to ask like a barrage of bullets.
Only then did Su Chen come to realize why the girl was so furious this morning.
Your journey continues at empire
So she knew he had been fooling her!
With that thought in mind, Su Chen couldn't help but start to laugh, then he asked,
"Did you tell anyone else about these incidents?"
In Su Chen's view, if this girl hadn't realized she was being played after walking into that shop the first day, she definitely wouldn't have caught on later.
The only possibility was that she had told someone else, who had then enlightened her.
It hadn't occurred to Su Chen that this young woman would have shared such things with others, which was quite naively adorable of her!
"So you did know all along!"
Du Hanshuang was no fool, just a bit naive.
Hearing Su Chen's words, it became clear to her that he had indeed discovered her presence early on and had indeed been toying with her.
This strong sense of pride would not allow her to endure it. Her beautiful eyes glared at him like sharp blades, her cute little fists were clenched tightly, and her teeth gnashed with a "click click" sound.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Who allowed you to track me!"
Su Chen pretended to be weak as he spoke, and honestly, this little girl did look quite intimidating.
"You jerk!"
Du Hanshuang threw a punch at Su Chen's face without hesitation, as if she couldn't stand to look at his detestable face any longer.
Although her investigative skills were poor, her talent in Martial Arts was indeed considerable. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to enter the First Layer of Qi Refinement at such a young age.
That little pink fist was as fast as lightning, with a formidable momentum, and the "sizzle" of the air being torn followed its path...
"I'm telling you, you don't hit someone in the face when you punch!"
Su Chen, startled by the power of the Fist Mang, quickly dodged to Du Hanshuang's back.
If this girl had hit anywhere else, Su Chen would have let it go, considering it as letting her vent.
But if you aim for the face, how could that be okay? That's the moneymaker!
Seeing her punch hit nothing but air, Du Hanshuang grew even more enraged, ready to turn around and attack again.
Just at that moment, two hands suddenly reached out from behind her, grabbing her arms.
Du Hanshuang was shocked and immediately tried to elbow her attacker, but the person behind her was quicker, firmly controlling her arms and leaving her no space to exert force.
"You jerk! Let go of me!"
Du Hanshuang began to struggle violently, her face flushing a bright red.
"Why should I? You want to hit me and want me to let you go? No such luck."
Su Chen teased her in response.
"If you hadn't teased me, would I have hit you?"
Du Hanshuang tried hard to turn around, but she could only move a little, catching a glimpse of Su Chen's profile.
That, too, was only because Su Chen hadn't held her too tightly on purpose.
"If you hadn't tracked me, could I have teased you?"
Su Chen replied with a smile.
"You jerk, do you have some kind of ulterior motive towards me?"
This had been bothering Du Hanshuang for a while. This guy intentionally entered that shop and said those embarrassing things to her. Could it be that he had some dirty ideas about her?
In today's society, there were far too many sleazy men, and it wouldn't be a surprise if this one was just the same!
"Psh, with your 'airport', you can't even compare to a small bun, I'm not blind."
Su Chen glanced disdainfully at Du Hanshuang's chest as he spoke.
Of course, Su Chen was doing this on purpose. Honestly speaking, the girl did look quite charming.
Although Su Chen harbored no such intentions, he had to admit that she was a beauty in the making; it was just that she hadn't fully matured yet.
Su Chen thought that upon hearing his comment, the girl would definitely become more furious and might even want to fight him to the death.
But, to Su Chen's surprise, she didn't react at all, which really took him aback!
He quickly glanced at the girl and saw her twisting her body to stare steadfastly at him, with a puzzled expression emerging on her face.
"Girl, don't tell me you've fallen for me because I'm handsome?"
Su Chen hooked up a mischievous smile and purposely teased her.
Upon seeing that smile, a lightning bolt seemed to flash through Du Hanshuang's mind.
Although she could only see half of Su Chen's profile, that slight smirk, in that instant, overlapped with an image from her memory.
Du Hanshuang immediately exclaimed in shock:
"I know who you are! You're the man in my sister's photo!"
